DESCRIPTION: (from Sci Fi's press release) Pure escapist entertainment, SCI FI Saturday movies pay homage to the early science fiction drive-in thrillers, while pushing the limits of imagination in a way only SCI FI can. These high-octane, thrill-a-minute original action flicks have become a perennial favorite and are responsible for attracting a sizable new audience. In the third quarter of 2006, Saturday movies brought in 4 million new viewers to the Channel. In addition to fantasy epics, creature features, disaster flicks and creative re-imaginings of other science fiction genre classics, SCI FI is committed to developing sequels to popular theatrical franchises such as the Species and Pumpkinhead films, Lake Placid and Bats.
